I'm having a hard time "holding it all together" today. Has anyone every had this? I am also wanting to graze magnificently throughout the day but can't. Last night, I bought a pint of Ben and Jerrys and had about 20% of it and then had a terrible stomach ache... I guess I learned my lesson. however I don't know what to do with all this angered that is rearing it's ugly head.

HELP!

When I get to feel like I want to graze or feeling down and out I get out. I get out of the house. Go for a walk, sit and people watch, take a nice long bath, do a puzzle......I find the secret to my not grazing is to keep myself busy with something,.......anything. Get a hobby or take up an activity.

Great idea but I am swamped with work and kids and taking care of my disabled mother. I am already so busy that I think that is some of the problem...

WindyCity .... good question.. and good responses from PP...

I've been there and done that in the 5 short weeks that I've been sleeved.. one too many times, and you know what??? I stopped (like Pavlov's dogs) when I got sick one too many times. Seriously! :angry:

I mean, I knew that I was only hurting myself (literally) but somehow, i thought I could "out smart" my sleeve :blink: by eating what i wanted and when I wanted... forget the diet the surgeon recommended!!! What the heck am I supposed to do when the kids are going crazy, too many demands at work, sisters getting on my nerves, husband forgets to pick up the stuff from the store like I asked him to 15 times... blah, blah, blah... the surgeon didn't think his "diet" would work then did he??!!

(uh... umm...wait, I'm getting side tracked here.. I digress ;) )

Well, "home-chick".. my "gangster" sleeve, showed my butt who's boss. So after a few (really like 3 times) I gave in... I was like this is ridiculous.. I'm NOT going to win this struggle at this stage of the game. She's in charge and runs this ship. My need to eat when I was angry, upset, frustrated started going away. Like the PP, you harness that energy into something else.. your "something else" may be going for a walk, or a drive, or in a quiet room, or phoning a good friend... just try to keep yourself focused on what's going on, and not let old habits kick in. Stuffing ourselves, eating quick, eating the wrong fattening foods is not going to help... and if so, you have a few "ounce" window for it to appease you.. and even that is not cool with the sleeve...

We all know that - that's why most of us got the surgery in the first place. We have to use this "tool' to our advantage and learn other ways to channel those uncomfortable feelings.

Know what i mean?

Girl, my "home chick" sleeve acts UP when I even THINK about the wrong stuff... LOL.. LOL :lol:

Anger is my absolute worst trigger emotion when it comes to food! Fantasizing about taking up kickboxing instead of eating when I'm mad LOL ...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
